I'm Trying To Sit Down Somewhere

What if the thing you've been chasing is waiting for you to slow down? In this episode, I'm sharing why I've been learning to do less instead of more. Less forcing. Less hustling. Less trying to control every outcome. And surprisingly, that's when life has started feeling a whole lot sweeter. We're talking about rest, stillness, trusting God's timing, and allowing the Universe to bring opportunities, relationships, and blessings without exhausting yourself trying to make everything happen. Because somewhere along the way, many of us were taught that if we're not busy, we're not productive. If we're resting, we're falling behind. If we're sitting still, we're wasting time. But what if peace is productive? What if your next breakthrough doesn't come from working harder, but from creating enough space to actually receive it? Grab your tea, take a deep breath, and join me for a conversation about releasing the hustle, embracing the soft life, and learning that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is sit down somewhere and enjoy the life you're building. Because doing less might just help you receive more.

Eavesdropping at Pappadeaux Changed My Perspective

I was sitting at Pappadeaux enjoying my meal when I overheard a grown son lovingly fussing at his mama about taking her blood pressure medicine, eating regular meals, and making healthier choices. The problem wasn't that she didn't understand what he was saying—it was that she didn't know how to actually do anything differently. In this episode, we're talking about the gap between health advice and real life. Why "eat healthier" isn't always helpful, why so many women feel overwhelmed by nutrition, and how small, simple changes can make a bigger difference than another lecture ever could. If you've ever stood in the grocery store wondering what you're actually supposed to eat, this conversation is for you. We're choosing guidance over guilt, support over shame, and practical wellness over perfection. 💛

Your Great-Grandma Wouldn’t Eat That Fruit

This episode started with a casual grocery store trip and ended with me questioning modern fruit altogether. Because why did one of my gentleman friends proudly tell me he only eats seedless grapes and watermelon… and my spirit immediately got concerned? We’re talking seedless fruit, GMO foods, weird grocery store produce, fertility, minerals, local food, and why these watermelons online are looking more and more like science experiments. Baby, when you cut open a watermelon and it look like insulation foam, we need to have a conversation. In this episode we’re getting into: • why fruits naturally have seeds • how modern food has become more about convenience than nourishment • the spiritual symbolism of seeds, abundance, and fertility • mineral deficiencies and disconnected eating • why locally grown food just feels different • and why your great-grandmama probably knew more about nutrition than half the internet This is funny, soulful, slightly petty, and lowkey serious all at the same time. Also — summertime doula clients are officially open, so if you’ve been craving more holistic womb support, softness, grounding, and reconnecting with your body naturally… this episode is definitely for you.

Babbbby Birth Control Had Me Bloated & Gave Me Belly Fat

I started the birth control pill thinking I was about to become one of those organized, responsible adult women… whole time my hormones was downstairs fighting in the kitchen. Suddenly I was starving every five minutes, crying over TikToks, craving fries like a woman in a medieval famine, and wondering why my jeans started fitting like they were holding a personal grudge against me. In today’s episode, I’m talking about my experience gaining weight on the pill, the mood swings, bloating, cravings, emotional chaos, and how I realized maybe I wasn’t “lazy” or “dramatic” — maybe my body was reacting to hormonal birth control. We’re getting into the side effects nobody really warns women about, learning how to listen to your body, and the natural, holistic things women use to support their hormones and metabolism after coming off the pill. Because baby… sometimes it’s not you. Sometimes it’s your hormones acting like unpaid interns.
